ORCHIDACE.E 



latus ; lamina retusa, 1.5 mm. longa, 1.5 mm. lata. Gynostemium 

 circiter 4 mm. longum, prope apicem, antice utrinque, in steli- 

 dium deflexum obtusum productum; rostellum bifidum. Pol- 

 linia 8. 



In most of the specimens examined the stems were very 

 short and greatly exceeded by the long gramineous leaves. The 

 structure of the labellum resembles that of Agrostophyllum glu- 

 maceum Hook. f. The epichile where it joins the sac is con- 

 tracted, with the margins inrolled to form a semitubular claw. 

 Over this claw extends the retuse continuation of the sac. The 

 epichile appears to arise from the base of the sac or hypochile.

 est, 60 meters above sea level.
